Not a great week for people with a massive herd mentality. If you think about it, though, you don't really need to run along side thirty or forty thousand other people. You can just go running by yourself, through pastures, up streams, over mountains, up toward the sky and then down again to the water. And really, you don't need to get together with thousands, hundreds, or even tens of people to enjoy marijuana. In fact, just being by yourself without pouring pollutants down your windpipe would probably be even better for your heart and mind.

Why do people feel the need to clog together, like tangled hairs in a drain? Seems like a mental illness - which makes sense when you consider the bad people such events attract.
